That's why I feel unsure when I start feeling a little better. Am I shooting myself in the foot? I wonder.

I think if a person is seriously mentally ill then taking meds is always better than not taking them. The disease changes your brain, too. I wonder about all the other stuff, too--whether I'll ever be better, if it's going to be worth it.

My life seems less complicated, because I have so much time on my hands. Unless your job is truly hellacious, then working is better than not working.

What a wonderful analogy!


> Take heart, Ilene. Keep putting your thoughts here, good and bad. Just get through this day, and remember that there are many people on this board who care about you!
